    Towing Mirrors

    For towing our 30' travel trailer, I bought some cheap clip-on mirrors from Amazon at about $13 each. K Source Clip-on CIPA makes similar ones: CIPA Clip-on They served their purpose well. I am able to put them on and take them off very easy and at no time during the entire summer of...

    New Wheels........TPMS?????

    I did the opposite you're doing. I bought some 17" winter rims. I bought new sensors from Tire Rack. There's no problem running them without the sensors--you just have to put up with the warning light in the dash and you won't have that extra "saftey" feature of having your tires monitored. I...

    Navigation Disc Question

    Well, the clock tab is the same size as all the other tabs, but the font size for the clock is bigger than the other text. And yes, I can scroll through all the XM categories while I'm moving. (The only ones I don't see are the ones I've removed).

    Quick OEM Nav questions..

    Since you haven't had any responses yet, I'll offer my opinion. I don't think the dealer would be too happy installing an OEM unit that you didn't buy from them because it puts them in a compromising position if anything goes wrong. The scenario: they install a factory radio, but they have...

    Navigation Disc Question

    I went from a 1.0 disc to the 4.0 on my 2007 and although I didn't notice the change in clock digit size, I did get the XM categories, etc. The clock size probably did change, but I wasn't observant enough to notice it.

    Traction and Stabilatrac

    Mine says that after the battery dies and I jump start it. It's happened a couple times now. It goes away after the next restart.

    going from an awd sedan to a tahoe?

    I went from a 2006 Subaru STI to a 2007 Denali XL more out of necessity than choice. It's the only vehicle our family has. I like how flat it stays in the curves considering it's size. Obviously, you can't hide the weight so you definitely reach the limits of grip more quickly, but the 380 hp...

    Wheel size conversion

    No, don't get me wrong. I was just meant that two different web sites were using the same calculator. I wonder if they're owned by the same company, that's all.

    Wheel size conversion

    That's interesting. That's the same calculator that I posted in the link above.

    Dvd issue ??

    The remote at least has a belt clip so it can hang off the front seatback pocket. For the headphones (3 sets) the kids just hang them over the center bench seat in the 2nd row. Otherwise, they fit in the cup holders without moving around too much.

    Dvd issue ??

    It's normal. My Denali does the same thing. What you need to do is use the remote to turn on the screen. That means if you have young kids you'll need to either train them to use the remote or practice yourself doing the contortionist move from the front seat. The only factory RES I've seen...

    Wheel size conversion

    And then you can use this site to compare how different offsets will affect the fit: http://www.rims-n-tires.com/rt_specs.jsp

    OEM Navigation - Poor Routing

    Edit: Sorry, somehow I didn't see the bottom of your post where you say you own a Garmin so my original post below don't really apply, anymore :lol:. I have a Garmin nuvi 750, and I run it together with the factory nav and I often compare routes. I agree that each will sometimes offer...

    Upgraded 17 stock wheels to OEM 20s.

    I thought the stock tires were 265/70R17. Well, it is according to Tire Rack. That what I bought for winter tires to replace my 20". There is no noticeable difference in the overall diameter between the two. While I agree there is no affect of heavier wheels on ABS specifically, more unsprung...

    09 NAV disk missing?

    I have that same '09 nav disc (with the same part number) and yes, you can remove XM categories (like country and religion) so that you don't need to browse through them on the dial.

    Let me see your air horns

    I would get Wolo brand Dixie horns--apparently they are just like the ones they used on Dukes of Hazard :).

    Rear Windshield wire question

    I've only had my '07 for a few months--bought it used--but it still has the full warranty. It doesn't hurt to get it checked out at the dealer and if they say it's not under warranty, at least you know what needs to be repaired and can get other estimates.

    Rear Windshield wire question

    I'd take it to the dealer and get it fixed under warranty.

    New wheels/tires warranty questions

    Going from one OEM size to another is not going to affect anything. No reprogramming will be necessary unless you choose a wheel/tire combo that has a different overall diameter. The only time you're going to adversely affect performance (i.e braking and handling) is if you plus size your...
